| dc.description.abstract | This paper designs a new kind of solar thermal collector, it was named solar thermal blinds. It uses the solar flat concentrator to avoid the general solar concentrators bulky, costly and terrain limited systems. Because of the lighter and thinner structure, so it can install for the window or outside of the building. This change not only saves a huge floor area and the cost but also has the functions of shading the sun and obtaining energy. Solar blinds are designed with three mechanisms, including flat concentrators, solar panel collectors and blinds. It has the advantages of those three prototypes. For example, the simple construction of solar flat-panel collectors. The concentrating effect of the solar panel concentrator, and the shading function of the blinds.
In this paper, solar blinds design is divided into fourth parts. The first part is modifying the geometry of the concentrator, making it more suitable for heat transfer systems. Second, we using optical software for simulation the optical property of the flat concentrators. Third, the physical simulation software is used to combine the simulated laminar flow with solar radiation. The correctness of the model is analyzed by the experiment and collector efficiency. In the fourth part, under the correct model, the array layer of the adsorption chiller starting temperature of 80 °C has been obtained.
